I'll echo many of the other responses...why is being local important? I do contract work for a small company about 15 miles from where I live and I only go into the office every couple of weeks. VPN, remote desktop to manage servers, and a local development environment set up on my workstation really means that there's nothing I can do there (at the office) that I can't do here (at home).
With IM, email, and Vonage, keeping in touch with someone anywhere in the world is really not a big deal. Apps like Groove make managing geographically disparate groups simpler and keeps communication and sharing flowing like water. Probably the only thing I miss about being in an office is free pizza on Fridays (of course, I'm also the only geek at this place, so there's nobody to bounce tech stuff off of). I'm better equipped at home and am more comfortable, and my kids like being able to come home after school rather than going to aftercare. There are just way too many pluses.
